Compliance required as indicated.

To prevent loss of rudder control, accomplish the following:

 (a) Before further flight, after the effective date of this AD, with the nosegear raised off
the ground, inspect the rudder control system by checking the rudder controls from the
cockpit for freedom of movement through the entire range of rudder control travel. If any
restriction or impediment on the normal freedom of movement of the rudder controls is
apparent, the cause thereof must be determined prior to further flight. If it is determined
that the restriction or impediment is caused by binding in the rudder bellcrank at the
stabilizer, before further flight, modify the rudder bellcrank assembly in a manner
prescribed in (c) of this AD.

(b) If the rudder bellcrank assembly is not modified as a result of findings made during
the inspection provided in (a), then it must be modified in a manner prescribed in (c) of
this AD within fifty (50) hours time in service after the effective date of this AD.

(c) Modify the rudder bellcrank assembly in accordance with any one of the following -

(1) One of the two methods contained in Alon Service Bulletin No. 14, dated February
3, 1967; or

(2) The method contained in Ercoupe Service Memorandum No. 63 (available upon
